kidney stone at 36 weeks :-(

Well, I was experiencing excruciating pain in my right lower back and right lower abdomen today so I called my doctor. They had me come in for an exam and monitoring for contractions. My urine had blood in it so the doctor believes that I am developing a kidney stone. :-/ I have never had one before but this is not fun. Unfortunately at 36 weeks pregnant, all they will do is give me pain medicine. A little bit of good news came today though... I am dilated to a cm and having very reliable contractions. The doctor doesn't think my little guy is going to stay in to his due date. :-D I am so ready to have him here.

Aw I'm sorry-- kidney stones hurt! Had one a few years ago. I believe all they do anyway is give pain medicine. I was given vicodin and sent home with a urine strainer, told I'd pass it within a few days. That was that-- I went home, laid around (the vicodin didn't help the pain much), drank gallons of water, and I passed it 3 days later. Hope yours makes it out quickly!
